For the next seven days, the Metroblogging sites around the globe will be unveiling seven gifts their cities can share with the world - one gift a day for seven days (to see what the rest of the world is contributing, click here.)

“A can a week, that’s all we ask.”

What’s a holiday without nuts…and almonds are among the best. You can eat ‘em plain, salted, barbeque’d, sugared, dipped in chocolate or part of your favorite candy bar. You can drink almond beverages, bake with ground almonds instead of flour, and eat the health conscious “Nut Thins” which are especially good for those folks who have wheat or gluten allergies.

Oh, and there’s marzipan, almond oil, and almond butter. Do you have any favorite almond dishes or medicinal uses? Edgar Cayce often recommended using almonds in the diet for good health (according to a Wikipedia entry). Check out this “almond ball” recipe for a sweet treat.

Blue Diamond HQ is here in Sacramento, but its almonds go everywhere. Good health to you and your family in the form of a little nut! It’s our gift to the world!
